Roadhog is meant to be able to Kill Out-of-Positioned Enemies

The problem is that Roadhog has enough Health + Damage Resistance + Healing to make him Nigh-Immortal to everything that isn’t Ana’s Crutch Grenade. This means that EVERY Position is ‘Out-of-Position’.

So the Solution would be to Nerf Roadhog’s Sustainability to something like;

  • 550 Health.
  • His Heal only grants 250 Health and up to 100 Over-Health if Fully Healed.
  • His Heal now gives 40% Damage Resistance down form 50% (I think).

Then let him do 7 Damage per Pellet and bring Enemies within 3 Meters of him when he uses his Hook.

The change to 5v5 with 1 tank on each team meant that Roadhog had to be shifted somewhat in order to provide more utility for his team, so they nerfed his damage.

But now he’s weak overall. Apart from Ilios Well (to get some cheesy kills) you don’t see him getting picked at all… I wouldn’t mind if they brought back his damage to allow him to one-shot enemies again that are mispositioned…

Roadhog is weak, especially in comparison to other tanks. His damage got nerfed as it is… his ultimate isn’t the best either. Besides, there’s pretty much an Ana in every single group, which counters Hog loads. If any tank needs a nerf, it’s Ramattra.

I wish we could still one shot as Hog, as it does take some skill to grab people with his chain and good reaction speed. But sadly he’s just trash, and easily countered.

Just bring back 6V6 and make Roadhog act like a Bodyguard, sort of like Brigitte. He can maybe have an AoE Heal with his Breather, plus either more Damage or a Shorter Hook Cool-Down if he’s Near Teammates, like Wrecking Ball’s Shield when he’s Near Enemies.

I never said to Nerf Roadhog outright, I’m saying that he can’t have both, so I’m Nerfing the part that he has too much of (and is useless on its own) and I’m giving him MUCH more Killing Power. It’s a Rework that’s more like a Net-Buff.

Roadhog? More like Roadkill. This “tank” can’t even take out a single support, for crying out loud! What a ridiculous disaster. It’s crystal clear that the devs are utterly CLUELESS about how to improve Hog’s gameplay. Why not just completely remove him from the game? Why keep this useless hunk of junk in the tank list when he’s not bringing ANY value as a tank after the nerf? Just to mock us? Yeah, that’s EXACTLY what Blizzard would do. It’s a slap in the face to every player who had hog as main. They might as well just laugh at us!
